Youth Feedback

TELL US WHAT YOU THINK!

This section of the site is edited by our Youth Commissioner - let them know what you think! They're a member of Scouts and like to have fun as much as you! Many great ideas have come from our Youth members and we encourage YOU to let us know how we can make the Scouting experience better for yourself and everybody in your group!

* Snowshoeing (at Riverdale, or some schools may have snowshoes available for free for non-profit groups)

* Hospital Tour

Sport night at the gym

* Grocery store tour – bakery?, photo lab? Etc…

* Tour of Fire Hall

Overnight Indoor Winter “Camp"

* Tree Planting

* Wildlife Officer visit

* Dissect a computer (find an old computer ready for the garbage and tear it apart)

* Science Experiments

Dinosaur and Volcano night

* Board Game and Card Game night

* Visit to a live Beaver Dam

* Active Game nights (relays, races, running, jumping etc…)

Summer Camp (Canoeing, Swimming, Tenting, Water Games etc…)

Creation of a hiking safety kit

* Singing songs

* Plays/Acting

* Communicate with other Beaver colonies around the world e.g. Postcards

* Beach walk – learn about shellfish, seaweeds etc…

Sleigh Ride

* Geocaching (using a Global Positioning System (GPS)) to find and hide small articles (the cache). Practice using a GPS and enjoy the outdoors. http://geocachingpei.com/geocaching/ or http://www.geocaching.com/ Scouts PEI now has its own GPS for group use! Several geocaches are already hidden at Riverdale!

* Do a session with Search and Rescue. Contact Heather Pringle <hlpringle@edu.pe.ca> for possibilities - they provided LOTS of great info! Two sessions available - one for younger kids (Hug-A-Tree, probably best for Beavers and Cubs that are new to Scouting) and one for older youth and adults called Survive Outside.

These are some ideas we've never used but we surveyed the kids and this is how they responded!
